"Parker explained that initially the company’s lawyers opposed the Xchange. They felt intellectual property was always meant to be kept under wraps and guarded. But they’ve all come around to see the value of the Xchange, not only to the environment, but also bring competitive advantage to the company. When Nike’s patents are put into the commons, any improvements made to the patents will be available to Nike. Parker said universities are a great source of intellectual property. What is needed – and what the Xchange provides – is a standard protocol whereby IP can bust out from the university and be helpful more broadly to business and society. John Wilbanks, VP for Science at Creative Commons, said “There is so much duplication of effort and wasted resources when it comes to sustainability. We need to make it easier for individuals, companies, academia, and researchers to collaborate and share best practices.”"
